Change Color, Font, And Size of Text

When you select "Fonts and Colors" on the Layout page, "Text color" is the first in the vertical list, but "text font" is further down (sixth on my list); if you click on that link, a list of fonts (not previously showing) should appear in place of the color boxes out to the right. Furthest to the right are boxes to check for Smaller, Larger, Bold, and Italic. If you still aren't seeing what you expect, never underestimate the value of "clearing the cache and cookies" to update your screen.

Change Email Options In Google Subscription List

1. Go to your subscription page where all the posts are listed. 2. Find the "Edit my membership" icon on the right and click it. 3. Then you'd have a page listing the options about email choices. 4. Select one option. 5. Be sure to click "Save these settings".

Change Color And Font

Steps 1--10 to change a font or color in New Blogger

1. go to the Dashboard 2. click on the Page Elements tab. 3. look up above and click on Fonts And Colors. You'll see a list. 4. on the left side click on which area you want to change color. 5. on the right side click the correct color for that text area. 6. on the left side you may have to scroll down for the font list. 7. then on the left click on which area you want to change text in. 8. on the right side click on the font, size, bold, italics you want. 9. in 4-7 above you can see the changes in the small view window at the bottom of the screen. Sometimes it has a glitch and won't show, but you can make the changes anyway if you are confident of yourself. You will see the change (or not) when you return to View Blog. If you're not confident, try again later. 10. be sure to Save Changes before you exit.

Things you can change in the list include:

Text Color
Blog Title Color
Post Title Color
Sidebar Title Color
Date Header Color
Text Font
Blog Title Font
Blog Description Font
Sidebar Title Font
Date Header Font

Some detail about Text Fonts:

Text color is the first in the vertical list, but "text font" is sixth; if you click that link, a list of fonts (not previously showing) should appear in place of the color boxes out to the right. Furthest to the right are boxes to check for Smaller, Larger, Bold, and Italic. If you still aren't seeing what you expect, never underestimate the value of "clearing the cache and cookies".

Body (or background) Color

Oddly enough, to change the blog's background color requires going into the template. See if you find a section resembling this from one of my blogs:

body {
background:oldlace; url("xxxhttp://www.blogblog.com/harbor/rocks.jpg") no-repeat right bottom;
background-attachment:fixed;
margin:0;
padding:0;
font:x-small Georgia, Serif;
color:$textcolor;
font-size/* */:/**/small;
font-size: /**/small;
}

or, similarly, this is the code for this blog:

body {
background:#123;
margin:0;
text-align:center;
line-height: 1.5em;
font: x-small Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial, Sans-serif;
color:$mainTextColor;
font-size/* */:/**/small;
font-size: /**/small;
}

It's the "body" where you want to make the change or else create the color. Find or alter the color statement--whether you use a number or name doesn't matter. If you have to add the "background: color;", just be sure it's inside the brackets like you see in the two examples above.

Changing Templates In New Blogger

You have to change, but you don't have to change!

At some point soon, most of you who have held back will be forced to make the change to New Blogger. When you get there (are Migrated), you may not have to change your template immediately or even for a long while.

Those of you with a heavily customized template can (sorta) keep it!

However, you can't quite keep your own--not if you upgrade! Sadly, if the time comes when you have to or want to change to a new template so that you can utilize the full range of new features in New Blogger, then you may as well realize going in that the template choices are few. You may find them all dull and boring.

Cheer up if you're dumping an attractive customized template! It will take work, but just choose one and let the system Upgrade your template. Later, as time goes by and you learn how things work in the new set-up, you can begin to make the changes in your new template so that it will resemble your old one.

Keep a copy of your old template for reference. You will be able to Copy and Paste portions of it into the new template, as well as restore the additions you made to your old css code that are not in your new template.

Change The Url (Web Address)

Change URL
1. Go to your Dashboard. 2. Click on Settings. 3. Click on Publishing 4. The first box down the page is where you change your portion of the Blogspot url. It is of course subject to availabilty, and they will let you know while you sit there. No long waiting. 5. Scroll down and Save Settings.

If your blog has been in existence for any length of time or if there have been very many links already made to it, you ought not to change it. You may also have to resubmit any forms you've filed with the search engines.

Don't worry about the Archive posts. All of them will be appropriately changed.

END.

Change Your "About Me" Title

Trips Into Space?!

I'm not certain if you can change it in Classic Blogger, but in New Blogger you can easily change your About Me to read something else. Mine reads "Lies About Me". Yours could say "My Trips Into Space", or whatever you like.

You cannot however change the "See My Complete Profile" because that is one of the things that belongs to Blogger and isn't accessible to you or me, not that I have been able to discover. Sad, but true.

In New (beta) Blogger:

1. Unless you have been an idiot and deleted the "crossed tools" editing icon (wrench and screwdriver), go to the crossed tools under your "About Me" section.
2. Click on the editing icon.
3. A popup window will open with various information fields that you've probably already filled in when you created your blog.
4. The title "About Me" appears at the top and you can delete and/or replace it.
5. Click on Save Changes before you're through.

The change will usually be instantly visible when the popup window closes. If not, try Refresh (F5). You can go back to this editng box as many times as you need to.

Change Width of Post and Sidebar

Peter Will Tell. I'd get too flustered. I've changed many of them, but it was always Trial and Error. There's a few too many template variations out there for me!

You can change the title of Your blog without much trouble. Change it to anything you want. It's the url (web address) that has to be unique, not the blog's title. Go to your Dashboard. Click on Settings for that blog. Title is right there toward the top. Change the old name to the new name. Scroll to bottom of page in order to Save Settings.

Change Date On Post To Keep It At Top

Or change the post date for any other reason!

"Post Options" is located below and toward the left of the Blogger Editing box. (It's above the "Publish Post" button.) Click it, and you'll notice some boxes that say Post Date and Time appear toward the far right side of the screen.

[More below...Screenshot (click on image to enlarge) plus additional info...]

OLD (CLASSIC) BLOGGER
To keep a post at the top of the blog, either as an Introduction Or Welcome or Index or whatever you'd like to call it, use the "Post Options" to change the date to one in the future. At present, Blogger only lets me advance it to Dec. 31 of next year. I'll have to advance the date again next year. And so on.

If I'm unclear, check the same info with Chuck at The Real Blogger Status

LAYOUT BLOGGER

You can now put a Page Element (gadget) at the top of your blog that will always stay in place without fooling with dates. 1. Add a Text (or HTML/JAVASCRIPT) type of Page Element, fill in your text and/or code and save it 2. Move the page element into positon with drag and drop. 3. It will stay anchored there unless you delete it (by clicking the crossed tools editng icon as if to edit, but instead you click REMOVE PAGE ELEMENT at the bottom of the popup window). You can always relocate the page element again later by drag and drop. 4. Be sure to Save Changes.

Change Date On A Post

the arrow will then point downward toward some boxes.

5. Don't forget to save before you exit.
